Tip Tuesday: Chips and Your Waistline

When eating potato chips, I find it hard to stop at just one. If you find them irresistible and that it’s difficult to stop eating until down to the last chip. Don’t eat them straight out of the bag! Pour your portion out into a bowl. When you are done. You’re done.
I find this more satisfying. Finishing off a bowl of chips sort of tricks your mind into thinking that that is all you should be having. When eating directly out of the chip bag, your mind is wired to think that it needs to finish off the entire bag.
I also feel more sophisticated for eating out of a dish instead of a chip bag!

So, I don’t know about you, but I’m not organised enough to soak beans overnight to use the next day.
This will still take about an hour, but way better than overnight (if you hadn’t started overnight). But by the time the rest of supper is done and prepared for the beans should be done.
Without further ado:
Put beans in a pot, cover with water by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, and then boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let beans soak in water for 1hr. Drain and use!
Do you have another method you use? I don’t cook beans that often, but this seems to work for me.
Freaking Out … a little

I think I’ll try for Tip Tuesday.
I’ve been neglecting my blog. I have yet to figure out a decent topic for it. I was going to post about what I ate in a day, but that proved to be sort of onerous. I haven’t updated for a while, and as a result my view stats have flatlined…. Oh dear!
So, I’m going to try to post a random tip on tuesday. Stay tuned! Please come back!
